We capture light, and yet we don’t. We reflect rays of sun, and yet we don’t. Without us all the world is gray and dull for everyone.

What are we?

What is shaped like a box, has no feet, and runs up and down?

What day would yesterday be if Thursday was four days before the day after tomorrow?

I follow you by day, by night I blend right in but no one sees me except when I’m in the light. What am I?

First I am dried, then I am wet;

The longer I swim, the more taste you get.

What am I?

I’m white, and used for cutting and grinding. When I’m damaged, humans usually remove me or fill me. For most animals I am a useful tool.

I’m clean when I’m black,

Dirty when white;

Get too close,

And you might sneeze.

What am I?

A pet shop owner had a parrot with a sign on its cage that said “Parrot repeats everything it hears”. Davey bought the parrot and for two weeks he spoke to it and it didn’t say a word. He returned the parrot but the shopkeeper said he never lied about the parrot.

A cloud was my mother, the wind is my father, my son is the cool stream, and my daughter is the fruit of the land. A rainbow is my bed, the earth my final resting place, and I’m the torment of man. Who Am I?

I can be cracked, I can be made. I can be told, I can be played. What am I?
